This was not a cripple fight. Cripple fights look way more coordinated & sorted than that game.
Well done to the Force. Gotta feel for Slade with the dropped ball at the end. Got confused between Slade & Smith - Smith was good in this game. The numbers thing with the confusion over the number of players on the pitch was a bit of an ordeal.
Brad Thorn in the post game interview - class act, not that we didn't already know that.

Let me explain the last 5 minutes, I was, as usual, pissed off with the disgraceful state of play from my team. THEN, Slade went ahead and 'slayed it' with an absolute comical kick. At this point I just sat back and laughed and all was well with the world. Then, miraculously, he stepped up like a boss and pinged it over from 50 and I was mildly impressed. THEN, Nemani temporarily misplaced his head with his rude word for bottom and I sunk into a steaming fit of rage. THEN Nemani got the ball and beat a couple of players and I thought to myself, you're okay for a dumb bastard, but you're still a dumb bastard. THEN we managed to get close to the line and Slade 'slayed it' again, back into my comical induced malaise. THEN we smashed their scrum, put them under pressure, AND THE FORCE SEALED OFF THE RUCK but the ref didn't have the bojangles to give it. End result, I still hate refs, I still hate our assistant coaches, Ben Smith will still be the All Black 15, I lost my money for backing the Highlanders by 1-12 @ $3.40 and I still like rugby somehow.

Definitely Ben Smith. He's had a very good year despite the Landers very poor one.
I think he'll be a starting AB with Corey Jane out

A bit rough, but I did laugh. Tight games can do that.

Sorry for reiterating my question but it's vital for me, for the WF, the Wallabies and the entire World:
What happened to the Honey Badger? Nothing serious I hope!!

That clearly shows the ball is in. Note the Highlanders feet after the ball. That player is bound to the ruck.
It looks tempting, especially being in that situation but it's a penalty and yellow card.

The ball is not in his stance. It is to the left of his left foot. There for its out.

If you analyse pictures of every ruck you could always argue someone is off their feet, it's how they get there that's the issue. In this case he had direct contact with a Force player in cleaning him out. Not sealing off or off your feet.
Some part of his foot is past the ball.

You mean closer to his own goal line - but it not behind it.
The problem is there are no players around the ball they are all to one side of the ball.
Law 16: A ruck is a phase of play where one or more players from each team, who are on their feet, in physical contact, close around the ball on the ground.
